Facing legal challenges to
its ban on gas-driven motor
use on Waldo Lake, the state
is considering reversing the
controversial rule it established two years ago.
An advisory committee
composed of stakeholders is
reviewing the rule and the
impact it’s had on small businesses, said Scott Brewen, director of the Oregon Marine
Board. The committee’s report on the impact should be
out by the end of the month,
and the committee will also
advise the board whether
the rule — which bans gas
boat motors and float planes
at Waldo Lake — should be
reconsidered.
If the board decides to review the rule, he said, there
could be a public hearing in
April. The board would then
vote on whether to keep the
ban.
“So whatever the board
decides, it’s done before the
summer boating season,”
Brewen said.

in the Oregon State Court of
Appeals, but Brewen said the
court will wait to see whether
the state reconsiders the rule.
The more-than-a-decadelong debate about gas-powered boats at the Lane County

Flanked by wilderness on
three sides, the lake is known
for its clear, deep water. The
second deepest lake in the
state, behind Crater Lake,
Waldo has an average depth
of 128 feet, and its deepest
point is 420 feet, said Duane
Bishop, Middle Fork District
ranger for the Willamette National Forest. The nearly 10square-mile lake is encircled
by trails and has three shoreline campgrounds as well as
a picnic area.
“People go to Waldo Lake
to have a pseudo-wilderness
experience,” he said.
The state implemented the
gas motor ban, which had
been discussed for about 15
years, in early 2010. In the
two summers since, lakegoers
have been able to experience
Waldo in a new way, said
Doug Heiken, conservation
and restoration coordinator
for Oregon Wild, a Portlandbased conservation group.

For decades, the prevailing wisdom in education was
that high self-esteem would
lead to high achievement. The
theory led to an avalanche of
daily affirmations, awards
ceremonies and attendance
certificates — but few, if any,
academic gains.
Now, an increasing number of teachers are weaning
themselves from what some
call empty praise. Drawing
on psychology and brain research, these educators aim
to articulate a more precise,
and scientific, vocabulary for
praise that will push children
to work through mistakes and
take on more challenging assignments. Consider teacher
Shar Hellie’s new approach in
Montgomery County, Md.
To get students through
the shaky first steps of Spanish grammar, Hellie spent
many years trying to boost
their confidence. If someone
couldn’t answer a question
easily, she would coach him,
whisper the first few words,
then follow up with a booming
“¡Muy bien!”
But on a January morning
at Rocky Hill Middle School,
the smiling grandmother gave
nothing away. One seventhgrade boy returned to the
overhead projector three times
to rewrite a sentence, hesitating each time, while his classmates squirmed in silence.
“You like that?” Hellie
asked when he settled on an
answer. He nodded. Finally,
she beamed and praised the
progress he was making — in
his cerebral cortex.

DESCHUTES COUNTY

Deschutes County Sheriff Larry Blanton
wants to raise the tax rate by 3 cents this year in
the countywide district that pays for sheriff’s operations and cut eight positions from his staff.
Blanton said last week that he’s preparing to
ride out a weak economy and slack property tax
revenues. The Sheriff’s Office will also spend $1
million from a savings account in the next budget
year.
“Maybe we should hope it’s not going to get
any worse than it is, and we’re bouncing along
the bottom and this is the new normal,” Blanton
said in an interview. “It’s just a little dose of reality and making contingency plans where hopefully next year at this time, someone can tell me
I overreacted and we didn’t need to make those
adjustments.”
The tax increase would raise the countywide
law enforcement rate back to its 2009 level. At
Blanton’s request, officials cut the tax rate in the
countywide law enforcement district from 95
cents to 92 cents per $1,000 of assessed value beginning in July 2010.
The tax cut saved roughly $6 per year for the
owner of a $200,000 home.
“Hopefully, people will remember we cut that
tax, and we’re just asking for it back again,”
Blanton said.
In 2010, Blanton described the tax cut as a
goodwill gesture to taxpayers who were hit hard
by the recession. The reduction came at a time
when the Sheriff’s Office was preparing to ask
voters to approve a $44 million jail expansion
proposal, but Blanton said the two were not
linked. Voters rejected the jail bond.
Blanton must get approval from the county budget committee, composed of commissioners and
three citizen members, when it meets in May. The
commissioners then adopt the budget in June.

Smaller Internet
retailers take on
the behemoths
By Stephanie Clifford and Claire Cain Miller
New York Times News Service

Harold Pollack used to spend $1,000 a year on
Amazon, but this fall started buying from small
online retailers instead. The prices are higher,
but Pollack says he now has a clear conscience.
“I don’t feel they behave in a way that I want to
support with my consumer dollars,” Pollack, a Chicago professor, said of the big Internet retailers.
Giant e-commerce companies like Amazon are
acting increasingly like their big-box brethren as
they extinguish small competitors with discounted prices, free shipping and easy-to-use apps. Big
online retailers had a 19 percent jump in revenue
over the holidays versus 2010, while at smaller online retailers growth was just 7 percent.
The little sites are using some tactics of their
own, like preventing price comparisons or offering freebies that an anonymous large site can’t.

By Bettina Boxall
Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — The geography and water circulation patterns of the northern
Gulf of Mexico promoted the
breakdown of oil and gas
spewing from a busted wellhead during the BP oil disaster, according to a new study.
Using computer models
and Navy data on Gulf currents, the authors concluded
that rather than moving away
from the deep-sea wellhead
in a linear fashion, oil-laced
water often looped back, returning hydrocarbon-munching bacterial blooms to the
rising oil plume for repeated
feasts.

‘Like a washing machine’
“That northern portion of
the Gulf is almost enclosed on
three sides,” said lead author
David Valentine, a University
of California, Santa Barbara
professor of microbial geochemistry. “So it’s subject to a
lot of more subtle forces that
will slosh the water around
like a washing machine in a
circle.”
The recirculation meant the
natural gas and oil escaping
from nearly a mile below the
ocean surface was consumed
more quickly than would have
otherwise been the case.
The looping currents “came

Learning from a disaster
The paper, published in the
Proceedings of the National

Academy of Sciences, is part
of the growing body of work
analyzing the fate and effects
of the country’s largest offshore oil spill.
After the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded off the
Louisiana coast in April 2010,
oil and methane belched for
months from the wellhead
and pipes lying on the sea
floor.

Some rose to the surface, where it was burned or
scooped up, or made its way
to the Louisiana coast. Some
sank to the bottom, where it
was buried in sediments.
But much of it seemed to
disappear, dispersing in the
water column or providing an
all-you-can-eat buffet for microbes that live off the Gulf’s
natural oil seeps.
Valentine, who worked
with UCSB mechanical engineering professor Igor Mezic
and others on the study,
said the modeling could be
a template for research during other deep-sea drilling
projects.
Terry Hazen, a scientist at
the Oak Ridge National Laboratory who has also studied
the BP spill, said Valentine’s
work could explain why sampling didn’t reveal the expected level of hydrocarbons
in waters some distance from
the wellhead.
“We didn’t know that there
was this (circulation) loop.
That changes how fast things
were degrading.”

Questions remain
But Ian MacDonald, a Florida State University oceanography professor who has
also published research on
the spill, said he was “a little
skeptical of the huge bacterial
response.”
“The problem that I have
generally with this water column work is that the data that
were collected of bacteria in
the water column were pretty
few. ... The challenge that we
scientists are going to have
forever is explaining a phenomenon that we didn’t really
measure very well.”

ARLINGTON,
Texas
— Star Trek’s Capt. James
Tiberius Kirk led his USS
Enterprise through space in
search of new life forms and
worlds — a task outlined at
the beginning of the popular
1960s TV show.
“Space,” that iconic voice
states. “The final frontier.
These are the voyages of
the Starship Enterprise. Its
five-year mission: to explore
strange new worlds, to seek
out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no
man has gone before.”
If Kirk had gone back in
time, he would have found an
Earth-based team working
on a similar project. Today,
a group of astrophysicists
from the University of Texas
at Arlington are also pondering: “Are we alone in the
universe?”
Physics professor Zdzislaw
Musielak, associate professor
Manfred Cuntz and doctoral
student Billy Quarles grabbed
headlines last week as they
unveiled research that may
help scientists find a planet or
moon with some sort of life.
Their work tries to answer a
question that has inspired fiction writers and scientists for
ages.
“We are almost discovering what was science fiction
30 years ago,” Quarles said.
Using data from the Kepler
mission space telescope and
computer modeling, the UTA
team is trying to map for scientists where conditions exist to support life within the
Kepler-16 system. That system made headlines last fall
when NASA announced the
existence of a “world with a
double sunset, as portrayed
in the film Star Wars.”

Kepler-16b has been likened to Tatooine — think of
the place Luke Skywalker
was attacked by Tusken Raiders, or Sand People — but it is
uninhabitable, according to
NASA.
The UTA team was inspired by the discovery, said
Musielak, describing how
Quarles brought him an
article about it. They were
moved to make calculations
using the tools available,
Musielak said, and the results
indicated that an Earth-like
planet could exist in a “habitable zone” as an exomoon of
Kepler-16b.
The team also concluded
that an “extendable habitable
zone” exists outside Kepler16b’s orbit, according to UTA.
Cuntz said that life form
could be along the lines of a
plant or bacteria. The planet’s
critical feature to sustain life
would be liquid water, he
said.
Quarles said it would be
akin to life that could exist on
Mars — more dependent on
carbon dioxide than oxygen.
Musielak said that finding
a moon in that system would
be historic.
“It would be one of the
greatest discoveries,” he said.
“This would be the first moon
discovered outside of our solar system, and it would be
habitable.”
These findings were presented last week to the American Astronomical Society in
Austin.
The team is encouraged by
all the attention their work
is getting — imagine people
talking astrophysics on the
streets. The science fiction
references help people understand the information. The
attention is also prompting
people to ask more questions,

which scientists thrive on, he
said.
Musielak
said
people
typically respond, “Ah, really. Hmmm, that’s very, very
interesting.”
Quarles said that while scientists make these discoveries with satellites and modeling, they still can’t be verified
in person. Still, the team says
this type of scientific discussion can lead to more space
exploration.

“You never know what people will do,” Musielak said.
“Sometimes, it’s very hard to
make predictions. Things are
changing almost every year
from the technology point of
view.”
So while people don’t
have the tools to travel to
the Kepler-16 system today,
scientists don’t rule out the
possibility that someday humans will find a way to travel
there.

Pole, British explorer Robert
Scott and his expedition
were bitterly disappointed
to find evidence in the form
of a rock cairn and dog sled
tracks showing that Roald
Amundsen of Norway and his
team had gotten there ahead
of them. (Scott and his party

Huntsman
set to end
bid, support
Romney
New York Times News Service
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Jon
Huntsman will announce today that he is ending his bid
for the Republican presidential nomination and endorsing
Mitt Romney, narrowing the
field and erasing a challenge
to Romney from the moderate
wing of his party.
Huntsman, who had hoped
to use the South Carolina primary this week to revive his
flagging candidacy, informed
his advisers Sunday that he
was bowing to political reality and would back Romney,
whom he accused a week
ago of putting party ahead of
country.
Huntsman, who had struggled to live up to the early expectations of his candidacy,
was to deliver a speech this
morning in Myrtle Beach,
where the five remaining major Republican candidates will
gather hours later for a debate.
His endorsement of Romney
is an indication of the party
establishment rallying behind
Romney and trying to focus
the party on defeating President Barack Obama.
“The governor and his family, at this point in the race,
decided it was time for Republicans to rally around a candidate who could beat Barack
Obama and turn around the
economy,” Matt David, Huntsman’s campaign manager,
said in an interview Sunday
evening. “That candidate is
Gov. Mitt Romney.”
But Huntsman’s decision
was unlikely to have any particular influence where Romney needs it most, among social
and religious conservatives.

Firefighters on a dinghy look at a rock emerging from the side of the luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia, the day after it ran
aground off the Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy. The Italian Coast Guard says its divers have found two more bodies aboard the ship.

GIGLIO, Italy — The captain of a cruise liner that ran
aground and capsized off the
Tuscan coast faced accusations
Sunday from authorities and
passengers that he abandoned
ship before everyone was safely evacuated and was showing
off when he steered the vessel
far too close to shore.
Divers searching the murky
depths of the partially submerged Costa Concordia
found the bodies of two elderly
men still in their life jackets,
bringing the confirmed death

toll to five. At least 15 people
were still missing, including
two Americans.
The recovered bodies were
discovered at an emergency
gathering point near the restaurant where many of the 4,200
on board were dining when
the luxury liner struck rocks or
a reef off the tiny island of Giglio. The Italian news agency
ANSA reported the dead were
an Italian and a Spaniard.
Still, there were glimmers of

Global theme at Golden Globes
By Rebecca Keegan
Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Hollywood celebrated a foreign
invasion at Sunday’s Golden
Globes, as films and television
shows with a distinctly international pedigree collected many
of the evening’s prizes.
“The Artist,” French filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius’s
ode to silent movies, was the
night’s top honoree, winning
three awards. In the comedy
or musical category, the blackand-white movie was named
best picture, while Jean Dujardin was named actor for his
performance as a silent film
star made obsolete by the arrival of talkies. Ludovic Bource
won for score.
A definitively American
drama, Alexander Payne’s
“The Descendants,” took home
two awards in the drama category, best picture and actor for
George Clooney, who played a
befuddled father trying to connect with his daughters after
his wife’s boating accident.
On the TV side, the Globes
tended toward critically acclaimed but little-watched
shows with big stars, including Showtime’s “Episodes”
with Matt LeBlanc, Starz’
“Boss” with Kelsey Grammer and HBO’s “Enlightened”
with Laura Dern. The latter
has averaged barely 200,000
viewers.
The lone exception to the gosmall trend was ABC’s smash
sitcom “Modern Family,” which
finally won a Globe after losing
out in the past to Fox’s highschool singing show “Glee.”
Comedian Ricky Gervais,
who was hosting the award
show for the third time, continued his streak of spiky, controversial comments, singling out
Jodie Foster, Johnny Depp and
Eddie Murphy for jibes. In his
opening monologue, Gervais
described the event as, “like the
Oscars, but without all that esteem. … What Kim Kardashian
is to Kate Middleton, basically,
a bit louder, a bit trashier, a
bit drunker, and more easily bought. Allegedly. Nothing’s
been proved.”

Golden Globes
The black-and-white silent film “The Artist” led the
Golden Globes with three wins Sunday at a show that
spread Hollywood’s love around among a broad range of
films. Here are the winners in major categories:
MOVIES
Drama “The Descendants”
Musical or Comedy

Martin Scorsese,
“Hugo”

36 hours after the grounding
late Friday.
Meanwhile, attention focused on the captain, who was
spotted by Coast Guard officials and passengers fleeing
the scene even as the chaotic
and terrifying evacuation was
under way.
The ship’s Italian owner, a
subsidiary of Carnival Cruise
lines, issued a statement late
Sunday saying there appeared to be “significant human error” on the part of the
captain, Francesco Schettino,
“which resulted in these grave
consequences.”
Authorities were holding

Schettino for suspected manslaughter and a prosecutor confirmed Sunday they were also
investigating allegations the
captain abandoned the stricken
liner before all the passengers
had escaped. According to the
Italian navigation code, a captain who abandons a ship in
danger can face up to 12 years
in prison.

And in a new twist, they are also exploiting
the sympathies of shoppers like Pollack by encouraging customers to think of them as the
digital version of a mom-and-pop shop facing
off against Wal-Mart: If you can’t shop close to
home, at least shop small.
“Folks are exercising their desire to support local stores where local is not just in their town, but
anywhere in the country,” said Michael Walden,
a professor who studies regional economics at
North Carolina State University. “A large number of Americans have a general suspicion of
bigness in the economic world — they equate bigness with power, monopoly.”

“You have a whole different set of
neurons popping up there!” she told
him.
A growing body of research over
three decades shows that easy,
unearned praise does not help students but instead interferes with
significant learning opportunities.
As schools ratchet up academic
standards for all students, new
buzzwords are “persistence,” “risktaking” and “resilience” — each implying more sweat and strain than
fuzzy, warm feelings.
“We used to think we could hand
children self-esteem on a platter,”
Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck said. “That has
backfired.”
Dweck’s studies, embraced in
Montgomery schools and elsewhere,
have found that praising children for
intelligence — “You’re so clever!” —
also backfires. In study after study,
children rewarded for being smart
become more likely to shy away
from hard assignments that might
tarnish their star reputations.
Instead, children praised for trying hard or taking risks tend to enjoy challenges and find greater suc-

‘Personal connection’
Lacy Simons, owner of Hello Hello Books in
Maine, a small store with an e-commerce site,
says she is seeing customers “cement their determination to shop local” — which on the Internet,
means shopping at the smaller vendors — even
when the big sites offer lower prices.
“We know there’s only so much that we can
do to compete against them, so you end up relying on what hopefully becomes an emotional or
personal connection with the retailer online,” Simons said.
Reflecting that, in a reaction similar to what occurs when Wal-Marts open in small towns, some
consumers say they will not support supersites.
But the economics of that decision are not always
sound, said Walden of NC State. If a small site is
selling products from a national manufacturer,
for example, to people scattered around the nation, it has little effect on local vitality, he said.
Pollack, the Chicago professor, says that even
if he is not supporting Chicago retail with his online purchases, he is not supporting what he calls
big business’ bullying ways.
Emily Powell, the chief executive of Powell’s
Books in Portland, said she attracts some shoppers with similar attitudes. “People come because
they want to support an independent and feel
good about it,” she said, but especially in a recession, “you can only guilt people into coming to
you for so long.”
That’s where the other strategies kick in.
Some stores respond by carrying exclusive
items at their sites. Powell’s Books in Portland, for
example, offers a subscription service through
which it chooses a new book and includes an extra item like a related book or candy — personalized items that it says big sites can’t match.

“This crown jewel, spectacular world-class
lake got to be enjoyed with peace and quiet,” he
said.
He said gas motors from boats and float
planes present a danger for spills in the lake.
While Waldo Lake was only lightly used as
a recreational stop for float planes, Columbia
Seaplane Pilots Association president Aron
Faegre said it is important to have it as an emergency-landing option for float planes traveling
over the Cascades.
“We want to support the goals of the lake, but
we don’t think it needs to exclude us,” he said.

of nonstandard hours, including evenings, nights, weekends,
and early mornings, according
to Harriet Presser, a professor
of sociology at the University of
Maryland. The share is expected
to grow along with the projected
expansion of jobs in industries
like nursing, retail, and food service, which tend to require afterhours work.

Sheriff
Continued from A1
Voters in 2006 approved two
permanent taxing districts for
the Sheriff’s Office. Previously,
the Sheriff’s Office depended
upon short-term levies to pay for
operations.
Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone said that although
the economy could begin to show
signs of recovery, property values
will lag behind, and that is what de-

“We’ve become so
obsessed with making
kids feel good about
themselves that we’ve
lost sight of building
the skills they need
to actually be good at
things.”

cess. Children also perform better in
the long term when they believe that
their intellect is not a birthright but
something that grows and develops
as they learn new things.
Brain imaging shows how this
is true, how connections between
nerve cells in the cortex multiply
and grow stronger as people learn
and practice new skills. This bit of
science has proved to be motivating to struggling students because
it gives them a sense of control over
their success.
It’s also helpful for students on
an accelerated track, the ones often
told how “smart” they are, who are
vulnerable to coasting or easily frustrated when they don’t succeed.

That’s how teachers at Rocky Hill
Middle started talking about “neuroplasticity” and “dendritic branching” during training sessions. They
also started the school year by giving all 1,100 students a mini-course
in brain development.
“This is the most important thing
you are going to learn this year,”
Hellie said she told her students before playing a YouTube video that
explains how brains grow. “It has
to do with the way you are going to
live the rest of your life — whether
you will continue to learn, be curious, have an active, growing brain
or whether you are going to sit and
let things happen to you.”
Education experts have long
warned about the dark side of
praise.
Alfie Kohn, author of the book
“Punished by Rewards,” has said
most praise, even for effort, encourages children to be “praise junkies” dependent on outside feedback
rather than cultivating their own
judgment and motivation to learn.
Michelle Rhee, the former Washington, D.C., schools chancellor, often recounts a story about how her
daughters’ many soccer trophies are
warping their sense of their athletic
abilities. Her daughters “suck at soc-

cer,” she said in a radio interview for
Marketplace last January.
“We’ve become so obsessed with
making kids feel good about themselves that we’ve lost sight of building the skills they need to actually
be good at things,” Rhee said.
Underlying the praise backlash
is a hard seed of anxiety — a sense
that American students are not
working hard enough to compete
with students from overseas for future jobs.
In an oft-cited 2006 study by the
Brown Center on Education Policy
at the Brookings Institution, U.S.
eighth-graders had only a middling
performance on an international
math exam, but they registered
high levels of confidence. They
were more likely than higher performing students from other countries, such as Singapore and South
Korea, to report that they “usually
do well in mathematics.”
Praise should be relevant to
objective standards, said Chester
Finn, president of the Thomas B.
Fordham Institute, an education
think tank. Whether it’s given to
make children feel good or because
“at least they tried,” it’s not helpful
if students are still “50 yards from
proficient,” he said.

At the same time, working
hours are less predictable than
they once were. “There’s a greater
variability and irregularity of
schedules,” said Lonnie Golden,
a professor of economics and labor studies at Pennsylvania State
University. “In surveys, more and
more people are no longer able to
specify a beginning or end of the
workday.”
Yet for years it has been a
frustrating reality for parents that
child care services have failed
to keep pace with the changing
workday, with many centers still
keeping a rigid 8 to 6 schedule.
Experiments with nighttime care
have come and gone over the
years, but lingering ambivalence
about the concept led most centers
to deem it financially untenable.

“You don’t want to put your 2year-old at a child care center at
2 a.m.” said Gina Adams, a senior
fellow at the Urban Institute. “It
just doesn’t feel right.”
There are some indications
now that this might be changing. The National Association of
Child Care Resource and Referral
Agencies said that it was hearing from members that providers
were offering more nontraditional
hours, though it added that it did
not formally track the data.
While overnight care is still
relatively rare, evening hours
are no longer so unusual, providers say. Donna McClintock, chief
operating officer for Children’s
Choice Learning Centers Inc.,
which runs 46 employer-sponsored child care centers across

the country, said demand for nontraditional hours had grown, and
centers that provided such hours
made up a large portion of the
company’s recent growth. About
a fifth of the company’s centers
have added nontraditional hours
in the past few years, she said.
Demand for nonstandard hours
tends to be highest in sectors
where employees tend to work
varying schedules and nontraditional hours, such as universities,
hospitals and casinos.
“It’s the wave of the future,” said
Roger Neugebauer, publisher of
Exchange Magazine, a trade journal for the early childhood field.
“The trend is to move beyond 9
to 5, because, with the changing
economy, that’s where the need
is.”

termines how much property tax
revenue the Sheriff’s Office and
other county departments receive.
“Even if it increases in the private sector and people start taking
home money, we’re not going to see
that in the county coffers,” DeBone
said.
Commissioner Alan Unger said
Blanton has done a good job of
managing taxpayers’ money.
“I applaud the sheriff for understanding a couple of years ago that
he had a reserve that he needed

to spend down, (and) therefore he
didn’t have to ask the taxpayers for
as much money,” Unger said.
Now that the Sheriff’s Office has
spent down its savings account, it
needs to increase the tax rate back
to the earlier amount, Unger said.
The staff cuts will include a combination of jobs that are currently
empty and positions from which
people have announced they will
retire by July. On the list is an administrative lieutenant job, a detective sergeant, two patrol deputies

and four corrections deputies.
The cuts will not affect services,
Blanton said, because employees
at the Sheriff’s Office will work
harder.
“We’re still going to respond to
every call for service, and I hope
we can do that for many years to
come,” Blanton said.
Blanton expects that the 3-cent
tax increase would raise $480,000
annually for the Sheriff’s Office.

LOCAL BRIEFING
Rain will follow
snow this week
Snow appears to be
on its way to Central
Oregon this week, but
don’t it expect it to stick
around too long.
According to the National Weather Service
office in Pendleton, the
Bend area can expect to
see snow flurries today,
with some accumulation predicted from
Tuesday to Wednesday
morning.
While storm systems
should continue to
move through the area
for the remainder of
the week, a warm front
is expected to bring
higher temperatures
— turning snowfall into
rain showers later this
week.
“It’s going to be an
active period,” weather
service meteorologist
Douglas Weber said. “I
don’t think you’re going to have a single day
where you’re not going
to have rain or snow.”
Light snow is expected this afternoon, and
daytime temperatures
should hover around
freezing. Starting Tuesday, snow is expected
to begin accumulating
on the ground and stick
until Wednesday, when
temperatures should
begin to rise.
Forecasts show
daytime temperatures
in Bend reaching as
high as 47 degrees on
Wednesday. Strong
winds are also possible.
On Thursday and Friday,
the daytime highs could
rise to 50 degrees,
meaning that any precipitation will be in the
form of rain.
Saturday is also
expected to be wet,
though forecasts show
that snow is possible,
with snow levels dropping below 4,000 feet
elevation.

First things first: Mirror
Pond needs to be dredged. At
least that’s what the people
studying the sedimentation
problem in the pond say.
Initially, officials wanted
to analyze a range of possible fixes to the silt problem
in Mirror Pond that included
everything from doing nothing to removing two dams and
allowing the Deschutes River
to flow freely.
After learning that such
a study would cost $500,000
and that no one was willing
to pay for it, the steering committee created to guide this
effort shifted its focus.
“Something has to be done

“It’s kind of a twostage process. The
first is to dredge the
pond, and the second
is to do a longer-term
study of what needs
to be done to the
pond.”

— Don Horton, executive
director, Bend Park &
Recreation District

to remove the sediment immediately, regardless of what we
do in the long term,” said Matt
Shinderman, who sits on the
committee and is an Oregon

State University-Cascades
Campus natural resources instructor. “It’s already starting
to get to a point where you’re
going to have extensive mudflats and potential wetland
vegetation coming in.”
Once that vegetation takes
root, he said, it could become
a lot more difficult to do any
work in the pond, because federal wetland protections create more regulatory hurdles.
Silt has been accumulating
at the bottom of Mirror Pond
ever since Pacific Power &
Light Co. built a hydroelectric
dam near the Newport Avenue bridge in 1910. The last
time it was dredged was in
1984, at a cost of $312,000.

A recent spate of intentionally set fires around
Bend has police and fire officials on alert.
But Bend Deputy Fire
Marshal Dan Derlacki said
that, while there have been
strings of small arsons
around town this winter,
the overall numbers show
only about 10 percent more
intentionally set fires than in
past years.
Early Saturday, two 13year-olds were arrested and
charged with four counts
each of reckless burning and
second-degree criminal mischief for setting fires on Jan.
9 and Friday in Romaine
Village.
The first three fires occurred in the early morning
of Jan. 9 at the Romaine Vil-

lage offices and community
center, as well as at a home
on Granite Drive. Then on
Friday evening, a bag of
feces was set on fire on the
front porch of a Granite
Drive home, according to
Bend Police Lt. Brian Kindel.
The teens admitted to setting the four fires.
“They had a grudge
against this person,” Kindel
said.
Around 2:55 a.m. Saturday, the Bend Fire Department responded to reports
of a dump truck on fire in an
open field near Southeast
Daley Estates Drive and
Azalia Avenue. The fire
spread into the field before
firefighters put it out. That
blaze was intentionally set,
fire officials say, but not connected to other recent fires.

hoping that it will spark people
who have never volunteered

Oregon’s farmers, but volatility remains across the board.
The Oregonian reports that
Oregon agriculture — the
state’s second-leading economic sector, after high-tech

the recession and is picking its

Still, some negative factors
remain. High hay prices increase costs for cattle ranchers, an irrigation fight may

government action on issues
ranging from pesticides, labor
and wolves to food safety and
water quality.
But Department of Agriculture Director Katy Coba is
optimistic, pointing to Oregon
being the first state approved

State scores
low on racial
report card
A coalition of seven groups representing Oregon’s communities of color released the state’s
first-ever report card that rates how the state
Legislature dealt with racial equity bills.
The grades are not good.
The 2011 legislative session was a tough one
for minority interests, according to the coalition’s Racial Equity Report Card. More than
half the bills advocacy groups had named top
priorities failed. Overall, the House received a
“D” for its work on issues pertaining to communities of color, while the Senate received a “C.”
“Those grades, albeit passing, are clearly
unsatisfactory,” said David Rogers, the executive director of the Partnership for Safety and
Justice, one of the coalition members. “There
are significant racial disparities (in Oregon)
and they are widening. Solutions exist, it’s
just that they need to be moved forward by the
Legislature.”
The report, which was funded by a grant
from the Kaizer Permanente Community Fund,
rated each chamber individually and only on
the bills that made it to full floor votes — not the
ones that never made it out of committee. In the
case of the House, lawmakers passed 10 of the
11 bills they considered, while the Senate passed
all 15 qualifying bills. However, both chambers
were penalized significantly for passing two
pieces of legislation that the groups said helped
contribute to institutional racism.
The coalition opted not to give individual
lawmakers grades, as many other report cards
do, hoping they could avoid hurt feelings but
still open up new lines of dialogue and increase
their sway in Salem.

regon Rep. Mike McLane is trying to right a wrong
in the way the state has dealt with Facebook. If he
succeeds, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also help the state attract essential

economic development and jobs.
When Facebook decided to
build in Prineville, Oregon was
one of many states it considered.
The tax benefits of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural
enterprise zone were high on the
short list of reasons for the choice.
The company has now invested
millions of dollars, created more
than 100 jobs and provided employment for hundreds of construction workers, according to
Facebookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corey Owens.
But future investment by Facebook and other similar companies
is now in jeopardy because of the
Department of Revenue decision that Facebook is a utility and
should be subject to so-called central assessment, which could apply
taxes on its intangible assets.
The DOR decision undercuts
the agreement Facebook made by
working with Crook County and
the state economic development
agency Business Oregon. In effect,
one state department is undoing
the work of another, with potentially disastrous consequences for
the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic vitality.
The Department of Revenue is
trying to interpret a severely outof-date law written at a time when
the likes of Facebook couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be
imagined. The Legislature needs
to sort out the whole issue of what
constitutes a utility and the resulting tax implications, bringing the
law into a new century.
McLane, a Republican from
Powell Butte, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to do all
of that, and for good reason. The
upcoming legislative session canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
exceed 35 days, and crucial budgetary issues must be resolved. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
not enough time to deal with the

Without this legislation

What company would trust

complexity of this issue.
But for Facebook, time is critical. It has completed its first phase
and is well in to the second. Those
investments wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away. But the
company canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan for additional
projects if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what its
tax burden will be. Expansions in
other states could look more attractive if Oregon will be imposing additional taxes. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence some
similar companies are watching this
controversy closely as they make
their own expansion decisions.
McLaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal therefore
seeks to address the immediate
problem by exempting data centers from central assessment.
Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no loss of state revenue
involved here, because any additional tax would go to Crook County, not the state.
Without this legislation, however, there is a huge loss in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
reputation. What company would
trust assurances from a state
where one agency makes a deal,
and then another undercuts it?
The Legislature needs to approve McLaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill decisively, and
then turn its attention to fixing the
larger issue in 2013.

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good green and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
ugly green. Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solar
mandate is ugly green.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to come up with pluses
for solar power. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renewable,
clean and the fuel is free.
But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a plus for Oregon to
mandate solar above all other renewable energy forms. A 2007 law
declared that a public agency doing
construction or significant renovation must include the equivalent
of 1.5 percent of the total contract
price for solar.

cheaper to install? What if biomass

the long run?
That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. The project
must put in 1.5 percent for solar.
The mandate didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any
sense when the Legislature ap-

proved it. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense
now.
State Sen. Doug Whitsett,
R-Klamath Falls, has fought to
take the silly out of the mandate.
He introduced Senate Bill 586 in
2011. It would have allowed any
renewable energy to be used, not
just solar.
The bill died in the General Government and Consumer Protection
Committee in the House. Guess
who co-chairs that committee? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
none other than State Rep. Paul
Holvey, D-Eugene, who foisted the
solar-only mandate on Oregon in
the first place.
Whitsett told us he is going to
try again in the short February
session to change the law.
Solar energy is good energy.
But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not let the sun blind us to
other renewables.

DMV should stay put

VA makes progress

As Yogi Berra would say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
dĂŠjĂ vu all over again!â&#x20AC;? Apparently
the DMV management didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn
a darn thing from its misadventure
at the Brookswood Plaza a year and
a half ago. Despite the fact that the
Oregon budget is in shambles, neither the DMV nor the Department
of Administrative Services (DAS)
seem concerned about spending
taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money on a new facility. They currently share a stateowned facility, rent free. However,
the DMV/DAS seem to feel that the
expenses associated with selecting,
leasing, outfitting and moving into
a new venue are inconsequential!
During their previous effort to
relocate to the Brookswood Plaza,
no rational reason was ever given
as to why they needed to relocate.
The only excuse ever offered was
that the current location was â&#x20AC;&#x153;inadequateâ&#x20AC;? for their needs, and it
would cost (a â&#x20AC;&#x153;guesstimatedâ&#x20AC;?) $1.5
million to bring it up to â&#x20AC;&#x153;theirâ&#x20AC;?
standards.
Surely, in the current economic
situation, both private companies
and public agencies must adjust
their working conditions to live
within their means. The amount
of time and money already spent
by DMV/DAS searching for a more
utopian facility could certainly
have been better spent to upgrade
the present Bend facility. The DMV
Office in Lakeview â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which services the entire southeast corner of
Oregon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; operates comfortably in
a double-wide trailer.
Perhaps in his recently created
post of Oregon Chief Operating Officer, Michael Jordan could arrange
a little â&#x20AC;&#x153;woodshed sessionâ&#x20AC;? with
the appropriate managers of the
DMV/DAS, and bring this wasteful
expenditure of Oregon taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
money to an abrupt halt.

John Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;In My Viewâ&#x20AC;? piece
from Jan. 1 described well the efforts
the Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) has made in recent years to improve the quality of life for veterans
and homeless veterans in Central
Oregon.
Several years ago, Central Oregon
Veterans Outreach (COVO) operated
a struggling 6-bedroom house for
homeless men from which the VA
was about to pull its support. There
was a small local VA health clinic
fighting to expand. In the years since,
that small local clinic has been recognized as the best clinic in the nation
and over the next 18 months will double in size, and the housing for homeless men is back on solid ground.
There is now housing for homeless
female veterans and housing for a
veteran family, all supported by VA
HUD-VASH housing vouchers.
When a national homeless count
takes place later this month, there
will be about 45 fewer homeless veterans in Central Oregon than at this
time last year. Those housing dollars are being pumped into our local
economy. In addition to the daily van
to the main Portland VA hospital and
back, there is a local van that will pick
up veterans with special needs who
live in areas outlying Bend and take
them to and from their appointments
at the local clinic. The Portland VA is
working with COVO and Bethlehem
Inn to set up emergency transitional
housing for homeless veterans.
There are still improvements
needed, but the VAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strides are
noteworthy.

director of Central Oregon
Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outreach.

Drug shortage issue
Regarding the Jan. 11 article about
the shortage of prescription medications this country is facing, in order to

gain lobbying support from American pharmaceutical companies for
his Medicare bill, the Bush administration included a provision prohibiting anyone in this country from
obtaining prescription medications
from non-domestic sources. Without
this sweetheart deal, would we still
be in this mess?

Prineville government
not involved
I appreciated reading Diana Hopsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jan. 10 letter regarding separation of church and state. It was well
researched and well thought out. I
feel a correction is in order, however.
Prinevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government was in no
way, shape or form involved in the
Christmas displays at the plaza this
year. Furthermore, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;singularâ&#x20AC;? religious group did not rent the space
involved. It was legally rented by a
private citizen who invited all to set
up displays celebrating the winter
holidays.
Some took advantage of it and
some didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The freedom of choice
and expression was not blocked in
this particular venue. Any area managed by the Crook County Parks and
Recreation District is open as a rental
area for a variety of uses. Their rules
treat everyone wishing to do so in a
fair and balanced manner. The city
of Prineville in reality had little to
do with the process. Prineville is not
â&#x20AC;&#x153;exclusionaryâ&#x20AC;? in a faith-based sense,
as evidenced by the wide variety of
houses of worship which are located
here. Also, I have rarely ever seen
any particular group or individual
singled out for any reason.
Prineville did not â&#x20AC;&#x153;set a precedentâ&#x20AC;?
as far as this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s display is concerned. It simply followed the legal
rules it had previously set without
prejudice.

deemed unadoptable for any reason
are the first to be put down in a typical shelter, whether due to a lack of
cage space or because it is considered a waste of time and resources

If it comforts families to know
that their pets will receive care and

Pint-size homes pop up in Eugene
By Diane Dietz
The Eugene Register-Guard

Ideabox, a Salem company,
is forming a “micro neighborhood” of five mini homes at
1200 Sheraton Drive in Eugene
— teensy ideas that are all the
rage in architectural circles at
the moment.
The five green, prefab houses have a maximum of 600 or
750 square feet of living space.
They are designed to look and
feel bigger while retaining the
economic and environmental
benefits of building, heating
and cooling a small space.
Those qualities are in demand, said Greg Johnson,
founder of the Small House
Society, which is based in
Iowa City and has about 5,000
participants nationally.
“People are dialing down
their investment in homes and
increasing investment in education or personal development,” he said.
The size of newly built U.S.
houses grew steadily from a
983-square-foot average in
1950 to a peak of 2,521 square
feet in 2007, U.S. Census figures show. But the size has
shrunk each year since the
start of the Great Recession,
dropping to an average 2,392
square feet in 2010.
About a dozen firms have
risen nationally in response
to the demand for small, green
prefab houses, in addition to
established builders entering

“There’s not a square inch in the whole thing
that’s wasted. It flows from one room to the
next.”
— Nell Babcock, landowner, on a Salem mini home

this market.
In Southeast Portland, production home builder D.R.
Horton is tapping into the market with Division 43, a “micro
community” of houses ranging
from 364 to 687 square feet.

‘Micro neighborhood’
In Eugene, Ideabox is building its “micro neighborhood”
on a half-acre lot for Nell
Babcock and her father, Harold, who own and operate the
Camelot Manufactured Home
Village in East Eugene. It will
be marketed to adults age 55
and older. The mini houses
in the Cottages@Camelot
development will cost up to
$120,000. In addition, the buyers will pay a $5,100 annual
land rental fee, based on current rates, to the park owners.
Ideabox founder Jim Russell
is a Eugene native who attended Marist High School and the
University of Oregon before
earning a master’s degree in
architecture from the University of Colorado. He spent his
early career designing resorts
in Aspen and Vail.
In the early 1990s, he moved
his family to Salem and

worked at the Oregon Department of Energy, managing a
large project to create energy
efficiency standards for 22
prefab home manufacturers in
the Northwest.
As a by-product, he learned
exactly how to build an energy-efficient prefab home.
By the time he left the energy department, he had an
insider’s view of how the industry functioned.
He decided Ideabox would
feature comely design elements but at a price that average couples could afford.

840 to 400 square feet
“I know we could do this
and be cost effective,” he remembers saying. In 2006, he
launched Ideabox and set to
designing 840-, 625- and 400square-foot models. Since
then, Ideabox houses have
been featured in House Beautiful magazine and the Portland Home & Garden Show.
Ideabox has sold 30 houses
and expects to break $1 million
in sales this year, Russell said.
Russell has established relationships with manufactured
home makers in the North-

west — he declined to disclose which ones — who
build his designed houses
to his specifications.
The houses are green and
“efficient in every possible
way,” Russell said. Permeable pavement and sand
filters outside deal with
run off. Inside are certified
green bamboo floors, dual
flush toilets, tankless hot
water heaters, ductless heat
pumps, heavy insulation,
highly efficient windows
and Energy Star appliances.
Russell uses myriad techniques to make the small
spaces feel big, including
clean lines, 9- to 11-foot
sloped ceilings, doors in
most every room opening
onto outdoor living spaces,
tall windows and forced
perspectives.
“Your eye is always extending beyond the wall,”
Russell said. “It’s knowing
how your brain sees beyond what you look at.”
The Babcocks were
pleasantly surprised when
they visited a 450-squarefoot model in Salem, Nell
Babcock said.
“My father, who’s in his
late eighties, said ‘Wow
this would be perfect for
me.’ He loved it” she said.
“There’s not a square inch
in the whole thing that’s
wasted. It flows from one
room to the next.”

FLORENCE — “Oliver
J.” of Seattle was traveling
through the City of Rhododendrons last spring and
stopped at the Cactus BBQ
& Grill restaurant on the
advice of a friend.
“We were certainly happy we did,” Oliver wrote
on yelp.com in June. “The
welcome was warm, the
food came fast, (leftovers)
smelled great on the way
back to the hotel. If we lived
here, we would go there
often.”
But not unless Tom Benson can scrape together
enough money to reopen
the restaurant, which shut
its doors on Dec. 31. To that
end, Benson is employing
an unusual tactic suggested by a customer and that
other customers are getting
behind. He’s asking them to
come up with enough money to get him started again,
and keep him going through
the winter. He’ll pay them
back in half-priced food.
Winters are tough for
restaurants along the Oregon Coast. Tourist traffic
dries up after Labor Day.
“It’s kind of a like a faucet
that only runs during the
summer,” Benson said.
And, without a steady
stream of local customers
to keep the venture alive,
restaurants fold. But it takes
time to build up that base of
loyal local customers who
keep eateries alive during
the off-season. And Benson opened Cactus BBQ on
April 1, less than a year ago.
He opened it for four reasons: “I’m 60, I’m fat, I’m
unemployed and I know
food,” he said.
He retrofitted the former Taco Time restaurant
on U.S. Highway 101 and
opened Cactus.
Summer went well. The
tourists came, and slowly
but surely, Benson began to

build a local clientele. But to
get a “full” roster of locals
takes three years, he said,
as word of mouth spreads.
By the time winter hit,
Benson couldn’t pay his
bills and decided to close.
That’s when a customer,
a business consultant, offered an idea.
“He said, ‘You’ve got to
look outside the box,’” Benson said.
The idea was this: Benson needs about $20,000 to
reopen and make it until
this summer. If 100 customers pitched in $200 each, he
could repay them with halfoff food.
“I didn’t think much of it
at the time, but I ran it by
the people who were in the
restaurant,” Benson said.
“Six of the eight tables said
‘Oh yeah, we’ll do it.’”
Since then, he’s gotten
35 people to sign up, offering pledges that he’ll collect
only if he gets to 100.
Among those who have
pledged is Joshua Greene, a
longtime friend of Benson’s
and an Old Town business
owner and Port of Siuslaw
commissioner.
“I like the idea,” Greene
said. “It’s like a scholarship,
in a way.”
Greene said he signed up
partly to help his friend and
partly because he wants to
be able to eat at the Cactus.
“The food’s delicious, fantastic,” he said. “It’s freshly
made, all from scratch, his
own ingredients. He mixes
his own rubs, makes his
own sauces.”
But will the plan work?
Benson believes another
season would give him
enough time to recruit
enough of a local following to make it through next
winter.
“My clientele is going to
grow, and it’s been growing
steadily,” he said. “We have
a lot of locals who love the
place.”

Mirror Pond in an aerial photo shot in August 2009.

Mirror Pond
Continued from B1
The latest cost estimates
for dealing with the pond’s
sediment problem came in between $2 million and $5 million. Those figures were from
a 2009 study.
As with the $500,000 alternatives analysis, no one has offered to pay for dredging Mirror Pond. The group looking
into the issue includes the city
of Bend, the Bend Park & Recreation District, Pacific Power,
William Smith Properties Inc.
and the nonprofit Bend 2030.
Two funding ideas have been
floated recently. One is to form
a permanent special taxing
district. The other is to include
a Mirror Pond fix in a one-time
bond measure. In either case, it
would be up to voters to decide.
Bend Park & Recreation
District Executive Director
Don Horton said the district
is planning a survey that will
ask residents if they would

support either option for Mirror Pond. That survey, which
is also gauging support for
other possible bond measure
projects, is expected to be sent
out in a couple of weeks.
Horton noted that a bond
measure would only provide
a one-time source of funds,
while a taxing district would
supply money long-term. Like
Shinderman, he said the immediate need is to dredge Mirror Pond first.
But Horton also highlighted
the importance of an in-depth
siltation study that would look
at dam removal options and
others — such as reconfiguring the shape of the pond
— that would help cut down
on the sedimentation.
“It’s kind of a two-stage
process,” he said. “The first
is to dredge the pond, and the
second is to do a longer-term
study of what needs to be done
to the pond.”

Fires
Continued from B1
“We’re not sure if that was
kids, if that was transients or
someone (messing) around.
We don’t know,” Derlacki said.
In November, several cars
around northwest Bend were
set aflame. On Jan. 6, Bend
police arrested 19-year-old
Matthew Norman Stahlheber
in connection with those fires.
He’s charged with three counts

each of first-degree arson and
first-degree criminal mischief.
Derlacki said the number of
recent arsons is unusual, but it
is largely a coincidence.
“Instead of having one every other week, we’re having
five at a time and then going
several months, then having
five or 10 again,” he said.
When the fire department
determines a fire has been
intentionally set, it passes its
information to the police, who

look for suspects. That’s not
always easy.
“A lot of these little tiny fires
we’ve had, there’s not a lot of
evidence, there’s no witnesses.
So there’s very little for us to
go on,” Derlacki said. “Some
of those go unsolved.”
Derlacki said people should
pay attention in their neighborhoods to prevent arson, and listen carefully to kids who might
talk about fire-related exploits.
He also suggested that ho-

meowners clean up pine
needles and other burnable
material to prevent opportunities for fire starters.
“If you see something
that seems out of place or
if you see a small fire, (call)
911 as quickly as possible,”
he said. “As soon as we
get there we can start our
investigation and see why
this is happening.”

• They WANT to know what’s causing their weight
problem and exactly what to do about it.
Folks want REAL answers—not more of the “you need
to exercise”, or “you need to eat less” recommendations
that haven’t worked.

What’s really painful is when your family and friends
whisper behind your back that you may be wanting attention, or that you’re over-eating because of suppressed
issues, or that you just need to exercise more. And they
won’t say anything for fear of hurting your feelings

They want to know if we really think we can help them
lose weight, how long it’s going to take, and how much
it’s going to cost.
But maybe even more important is knowing what people
DON’T want:

But...

• They DON’T want to be talked down to like

The good news is I know what you’re going through.
My name is Dr. Tim Lind, and I see folks every day
who are frustrated with their weight, so we know what

Your SECRET
Weight Loss Questions?
We’ve listened as people poured their hearts out—
frustrated with previous diets, terrified about losing
their relationships, or worried about their health and
who would take care of them if they had a heart attack
or some other health catastrophe. So…

• They DON’T want to be confused or intimidated
by “doctor speak”.
• They DON’T want a handful of pills that can
have side effects, and most of all they don’t want
surgery.
If you’re ready to effortlessly shed those extra pounds,
our safe, effective, and highly successful weight loss
program has helped our patients lose as much as
30 pounds in one month.

A

fter operating at capacity for months, the tech-oriented shared workplace TechSpaceBend has opened a
second facility near downtown Bend, around the cor-

The original location, in the Old Cigar Building on Northwest Harriman
Street, became known as a gathering
place for the region’s technology-oriented community when it housed online-marketing company G5.
TechSpaceBend took over the space
in April 2010, according to The Bulle-

Now TechSpaceBend, which is managed by the nonprofit Tech Alliance of
Central Oregon, has outgrown the Old
Cigar Building.
On Dec. 1, it expanded into a suite on

A final farewell that’s gentle on the Earth
By Scott Kraus
Allentown Morning Call (Pa.)

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — In life, Patrick
Ytsma made it a point to minimize his
drag on the environment, in part by
riding his bike nearly everywhere he
went.
So it was fitting that when he died
at 53, after a collision with a car, he
would be laid to rest at
Bethlehem’s Fountain Hill
Cemetery, in a special area
devoted to environmentally friendly interments.
At Ytsma’s Dec. 10 burial, funeral-goers formed a GREEN
broad semicircle around
the wind-swept hillside
grave site as pallbearers delicately
lifted the earth-friendly sea grass and
willow casket that contained his unembalmed body.
Mourners shuffled their feet to stay
warm, rustling the leaves and native
grasses that cover the area of the cemetery set aside for green burials. More
than three dozen cyclists stood by.
Beneath an ice-blue sky, a few words
were said and Ytsma’s casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners
slowly covering him with shovelfuls of
dirt.
No harsh chemicals, no polyesterlined coffin, no precast concrete vault.
“It was very gentle,” said Ytsma’s
wife, Judy Parr. “My husband was
a sweet and loving man, and it was a
gentle and loving way to take care of
him. Let the circle of life be complete.
Let him go where he belongs. I don’t
want it interrupted chemically.”
It might seem unusual today, but
for many years most Americans were

Friends and family members gather around a biodegradable seagrass and wicker casket that contains Patrick Ytsma’s unembalmed body at Green Meadow at
Fountain Hill Cemetery in Bethlehem, Pa.

buried in a similar fashion, said Mark
Harris, a Bethlehem writer who is a national authority on green burials.
Bodies weren’t embalmed. Pine
caskets were handmade by the village
carpenter, and most people were buried in a hand-dug grave in a designated
section of their family’s property or the
community graveyard.
That all changed during the Civil
War, Harris said. Union soldiers’ bodies had to be embalmed to endure the

long, hot train ride north for burial.
When President Abraham Lincoln’s
body was embalmed for its memorial train tour around the country, that
helped popularize the practice.
Meanwhile, the Industrial Revolution hit the casket industry, which
began cranking out mass-produced
metal caskets. Concrete burial vaults
were employed to deter grave robbers
and remained popular with cemeteries
because they prevented settling.

While it all had a certain utility, none
of it was terribly Earth-friendly, Harris
said.
“Today, a 10-acre cemetery has
enough wood to rebuild 40 homes,
20,000 tons of concrete and enough
toxic formalin to fill a small backyard
swimming pool,” said Harris, who has
written a book on green funerals titled
“Grave Matters: A Journey Through
the Modern Funeral Industry to a Natural Way of Burial.”
Demand for a greener final act,
which remains limited but is growing,
is being driven mostly by baby boomers, many of whom are now entering
their retirement years, Harris said.
Funeral director John Kulik in nearby Allentown said he had seen interest, but until century-old Fountain Hill
opened its green section, there was no
local cemetery in eastern Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley that could accommodate green burials.
“We had to go to upstate New York
or North Carolina. If you have a lot of
people driving, it kind of defeats the
purpose,” Kulik said. “Think of all the
fossil fuels.”
Parr said she and her husband never
specifically talked about how they wanted to be buried. Ytsma was in perfect
health. But they had read a story in the
Allentown Morning Call about green
burials, and it appealed to both of them.
“I just like the thought of him being
there, and I like the thought that there
will be wildflowers there,” she said.
“We did not fertilize our lawn. It is another way of taking comfort. I think it’s
neat Pat is taking the lead in an option
that I think a lot of people of all kinds
might find beautiful and meaningful.”

WASHINGTON — An
international team of scientists says it’s figured out
how to slow global warming in the short run and
prevent millions of deaths
from dirty air: Stop focusing so much on carbon
dioxide.
They say the key is to
reduce emissions of two
powerful and
fast-acting
causes of
global warmSCIENCE ing — methane and soot.
Carbon
dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas and the one
world leaders have spent
the most time talking about
controlling. Scientists say
carbon dioxide from fossil fuels like coal and oil is
a bigger overall cause of
global warming, but reducing methane and soot offers quicker fixes.
Soot also is a big health
problem, so dramatically
cutting it with existing technology would save between
700,000 and 4.7 million lives
each year, according to the
team’s research published
online Thursday in the
journal Science. Since soot
causes rainfall patterns to
shift, reducing it would cut
down on droughts in southern Europe and parts of
Africa and ease monsoon
problems in Asia, the study
says.
Two dozen scientists
from around the world ran
computer models of 400
different existing pollution
control measures and came
up with 14 methods that attack methane and soot. The
idea has been around for
more than a decade and the
same authors worked on a
United Nations report last
year, but this new study is
far more comprehensive.
All 14 methods — capturing methane from landfills
and coal mines, cleaning
up cook stoves and diesel
engines, and changing agriculture techniques for rice
paddies and manure collection — are being used efficiently in many places, but
aren’t universally adopted,
said the study’s lead author,
Drew Shindell of NASA.
If adopted more widely,
the scientists calculate that
projected global warming would be reduced by
0.9 degrees Fahrenheit
by the year 2050. Without
the measures, the global
average temperature is
projected to rise nearly 2.2
degrees Fahrenheit in the
next four decades. But by
controlling methane and
soot, the increase is projected to be only 1.3 degrees.
It also would increase the
annual yield of key crops
worldwide by almost 150
million tons.

Solving 3 problems
Methane comes from
landfills, farms, drilling
for natural gas and coal
mining. Soot, called black
carbon by scientists, is a
byproduct of burning and
is a big problem with cook
stoves using wood, dung
and coal in developing
countries and in some diesel fuels worldwide.
Reducing methane and
black carbon isn’t the very
best way to attack climate
change, air pollution or
hunger, but reducing those
chemicals are among the
better ways and work simultaneously on all three
problems, Shindell said.

Time Goes By

Woman torn by health issues
yearns to feel whole again
Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a 40-year-old
female in the military who has
been married for a few years.
When I got married, I was slim,
had a full head of beautiful,
long hair and hardly any medical problems. Over the last couple of years I have developed a
host of medical issues, all related to the harsh conditions of
my deployments.
My husband is shorter than
I am, thin and three years
younger. I have gained more
than 40 pounds due to steroid
treatments. I had to cut my long
hair because it was falling out
from stress. I look nothing like
the woman I was when we were
married. I look mannish!
Abby, my husband no longer
seems proud to be seen with
me in public. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold my
hand, and he walks behind me
or ahead of me so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re together. I have tried
talking to him about it, but he
pretends nothing is wrong.
I think we look ridiculous
together. Now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so unattractive, the differences in
height and our ages bother
me more. I am embarrassed,
ashamed, avoiding social situations and becoming a recluse.
Doctors wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to
help me because they say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a
â&#x20AC;&#x153;cosmeticâ&#x20AC;? issue. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know
where to begin to dig myself out
of this miserable existence.
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No Longer Myself
in Maryland
Dear No Longer Yourself: I disagree with your doctors. This
isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cosmeticâ&#x20AC;? issue. You are
depressed! Please consult both
another primary physician,
preferably female, who can
identify with the feelings youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re
having, and a psychologist.
Yes, you have put on weight,
but patients arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t permanently on steroids. Your hair
will grow out with time. But in
the meantime, you may need
psychological counseling to
get you through this. Your husband may not be less proud to
be seen with you. You may be
projecting your own feelings
onto him.
Happiness is the best cos-

You could be overly serious and
stern, especially within your
community and professional world.
Others often back off when you
make a statement. Within your circle
of friends you are serious yet caring.
Others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see you as an authority
figure but as a deeply caring friend.
You will have an opportunity to
meet someone quite different this
year who could be instrumental in
transforming your beliefs. If you are
single, this person could become
more than a friend. If you are
attached, you and your significant
other will gain through getting to
know each other better. SCORPIO

said and done, they will be more
willing to defer. A new beginning
becomes possible if you relax.
Tonight: Watch what comes forward.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

your hands and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give up!â&#x20AC;? You
are not actually giving up but making
a decision not to interfere as much.
Let others discover without your input
what works. After this experience,
they will be more amenable. Tonight:

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

be something quite different. In the
morning, funnel some of your energy
into a project. Nothing will perk you
up as much as success. Tonight: Go
after what you want.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH Your playfulness could
be tamed if need be. Funnel some of
your imagination into your work or a
project. A meeting reveals your true
friends and supporters. Tonight: Let
the good times happen.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH You know more than you
would like to. Listen more carefully
to what others share. You might
want to rethink your choices,
especially those concerning a close
friend. Can you accept everything
that you are hearing? Know what you
want. Tonight: Happy at home.

TODAY
DEAR
ABBY
metic there is, and once you get
a handle on your emotions, you
will become your old self again.
Dear Abby: This is an open
letter to parents out there who
bring their kids to adults-only
events because they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
get a baby sitter, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want
to miss out on a fun time. Listen, folks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when you signed
on for parenthood, you gave up
the privilege to party anytime
you want. An invitation stating
â&#x20AC;&#x153;adults onlyâ&#x20AC;? means just that.
Do not expect the hosts to tone
it down because you were too
selfish to stay home with your
child.
I attended a 50th birthday party to which one mom
brought her 5-year-old daughter. She then requested the
host â&#x20AC;&#x153;sanitizeâ&#x20AC;? the event, but
he refused. That mom spent
most of the time covering her
childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. (She tried to cover
the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ears, too, without
success.)
Not only was there a racy
birthday cake and adult toys
as gifts, but the adults werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
holding back in conversations,
either. Instead of leaving, the
mom stayed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; until the male
stripper started performing.
She was mad, but it was her
own fault that her little daughter witnessed more than she
should have.
Parents should be grownups. That means occasionally
missing out on something because they are no longer single
and childless. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess
up somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party with your
selfishness.
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Responsible Mom in L.A.
Dear Responsible Mom: I
agree. You have stated it well.
Not only was it unfair to the
host and other guests, it was inappropriate for the child.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHHH If you want a change
of pace, there is no time like the
present. Your friendly manner and
fun ways take you far. Change the
conversation. Someone offers a new
idea that could force you to rethink.
Tonight: Find your pals.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You are a bundle of energy
in the morning. In the p.m., you
start slowing down. Be sensitive to
not only your financial situation but
another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as well. You can
only control yourself. Tonight: First
balance your budget, then decide.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You might want to
brainstorm before making a financial
decision. You might not completely
understand another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
expectation, but you will find out. It
will make you smile once you two
see eye to eye. Tonight: The only
answer is yes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH Use the morning hours to
follow through on a project that
is near to your heart. Everything
moves slowly during this time. By
the afternoon, you pull back and
do some long-overdue thinking.
Tonight: Wherever you are, you
would prefer some privacy.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You know what you want
and what works for you. In case you
attempt to do something differently,
make sure you have the support of a
higher-up. If you do, the period from
this afternoon on could be unusually
successful. Tonight: Enjoying
yourself wherever, doing whatever!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH Others expect you to carry
even more responsibility. You could
feel more overwhelmed than you
have in a while. You might want to
check into what is fact and what is
fiction. Tonight: A force to be dealt
with.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Listen to what a partner
shares. You need to make a decision,
and perhaps let go of personal
priorities for now. By taking an
overview, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come out ahead
and be very happy. Touch base with
a respected friend who serves as a
source of information. Tonight: Still
pondering? Relax your mind to good
music or a game of Scrabble.

How to compost:
It’s easier than
you might think
By Cindy McNatt
The Orange County Register

According to Treehugger
.com — the go-to website for
all things green in the world
— the most popular environmental search on Google in
2011 was the phrase “How to
Compost.”
I looked into “popular.”
Turns out 1.5 million people
a month are trying to find
out how to do it. An equal
number of web searchers
want to know what compost
is. Over a million people a
month ask, “What is compost?” in their Google search
bars.
That’s where it gets tricky.
What is compost? In nature
it is millions of years of fallen
leaves, dead animals, dead
trees and conditions that include insect infestation, avalanche, rock slides, floods
and freezing and thawing.
All of these combined materials and environmental
conditions over millennia
make a rich soil that is alive
with microorganisms, bugs,
worms and critters of all
sorts, plus decaying matter
that the plants in the forest
community depend on to
live.
Soil is what provides
plants a place to park and
draw nutrients and moisture through their roots. Soil
anchors a plant to the landscape so it doesn’t fall over.
In urban landscapes, we
rake up or blow out anything
unsightly and in the process
render our soils sterile.
Then, counterintuitively,
a small portion of us gather
these raked and clipped ingredients and throw them
into a pile where they can
decompose. The finished
product is called compost.
When we have compost,
we either dig it back into the
soil or lay it on top as mulch.
Pretty silly when you think
about it.

I suspect one of the reasons many people don’t
compost is that there is too
much complicated information about how to do it.
Plant material decomposes without our help. Simple
enough. You can let it happen organically on your own
property — or rake your
plant material and throw it
in a pile. You can also make
fancy compost bins and
tumblers that make compost
happen faster.
Anything that is plantbased can go into the pile.
An equal amount of green to
brown plant material speeds
it up. The no-no is animal
products that attract other
animals to the pile and all
the problems associated with
mammals digging around in
your yard at night.
The smaller the bits are,
the faster they decompose.
And that includes kitchen
scraps — with kitchen composting a rising trend.
Here is the simplest way
to provide organic matter to
your soil. Gather your kitchen vegetable and fruit waste
for a week in a large bowl in
the refrigerator.
Every Saturday, say, pop
it into the blender with a bit
of water. Puree. Dig a hole
in the backyard; pour your
kitchen waste into the hole.
Cover the hole with soil.
Move on to another spot
next week.
In a few months you will
notice few things happening
there. Earthworms will be
everywhere. Bacteria will be
turning your kitchen scraps
into brown gold. Eventually,
after weeks of this practice,
parts of your garden will be
very easy to dig. Plants will
send their roots over to these
nutrient-rich and easy to
tunnel areas. Your dirt will
start to turn into soil and the
plants you purchase will actually want to live there.

But he would like to “change
the culture” of the original location, gearing it more toward

companies with more than
one employee on hand.
“There’s always synergy to
have companies kind of developing together, and to the
extent that we can facilitate
that in the Old Cigar Building,
that’s where we’ll do it,” Boeddeker said.
Eric Dolson, who owns the
building housing the second
TechSpaceBend location, said
he’s not making much money

Warming
Continued from C1
And shifting the pollution
focus doesn’t mean ignoring
carbon dioxide. Shindell said:
“The science says you really
have to start on carbon dioxide even now to get the benefit
in the distant future.”
It all comes down to basic
chemistry. There’s far more
carbon dioxide pollution
than methane and soot pollution, but the last two are way
more potent. Carbon dioxide
also lasts in the atmosphere
longer.
A 2007 Stanford University
study calculated that carbon
dioxide was the No. 1 cause of
man-made global warming,
accounting for 48 percent of
the problem. Soot was second
with 16 percent of the warming and methane was right behind at 14 percent.
But over a 20-year period, a
molecule of methane or soot
causes substantially more
warming then a carbon dioxide molecule.

‘An important study’
The new research won
wide praise from outside scientists, including a conservative researcher who held a top
post in the George W. Bush
administration.
“So rather than focusing
only on carbon dioxide emissions, where we have to make
a tradeoff with energy prices,
this strategy focuses on ‘winwin-win’ pathways that have
benefits to human health,
agriculture and stabilizing
the Earth’s climate,” said
University of Minnesota ecology professor Jonathan Foley,
who wasn’t part of the study.
“That’s brilliant.”

The Associated Press file photo

Methane gas burns from a stack near the Washington Electric
Cooperative power plant in Coventry, Vt. An international team
of scientists says that reducing emissions of methane and
soot will have a more immediate effect on global warming than
curbing carbon dioxide emissions.

John Graham, who oversaw regulations at the Office
of Management and Budget in
the Bush administration and
is now dean of public and environmental affairs at Indiana
University, said: “This is an
important study that deserves
serious consideration by policy
makers as well as scientists.”

The study even does a costbenefit analysis to see if these
pollution control methods are
too expensive to be anything
but fantasy. They actually pay
off with benefits that are as
much as ten times the value
of the costs, Shindell said.
The paper calculates that as of
2030, the pollution reduction

from its new use, but he’s glad
to see it occupied.
And for Dolson, there could
be another benefit, relating to
the small commercial building
he owns next door to the Old
Cigar Building.
“My hope is that one of these
young firms might want to
grow up into that 1,700 square
feet,” Dolson said.

methods would bring about
$6.5 trillion in annual benefits from fewer people dying
from air pollution, less global
warming and increased crop
production.
In the United States, Shindell calculates the measures
would prevent about 14,000
air pollution deaths in people
older than 30 by the year 2030.
About 0.8 degrees Fahrenheit
of projected warming in the
U.S. would be prevented by
2050.
But health benefits would
be far bigger in China and
India, where soot is more of a
problem.
The study comes a day after the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency released
the most detailed data yet on
American greenhouse gas
emissions. Of the emissions
reported to the government,
nearly three-quarters came
from power plants. But with
methane, it’s different. Nineteen of the top 20 methane
emitters were landfills.
Stanford University climate
scientist Chris Field, who is a
leader in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
but wasn’t part of this study,
praised the study but said he
worried that officials would
delay cutting back on the more
prevalent carbon dioxide. Focusing solely on methane and
soot and ignoring carbon dioxide “tends to exacerbate climate change,” he said.
Another outside climate expert, Andrew Weaver of the
University of Victoria in Canada, said the study is good news
amid a sea of gloomy reports
about climate change.
“This is a no-brainer,” he
said. “We have solutions at
hand.”

Vonn triumphs in
World Cup race
CORTINA D’AMPEZZO,
Italy — Lindsey Vonn
finally got to share a
World Cup victory with
her little sister, a milestone that moved her
into third place on the
career wins list.
The American ended
a five-week winless
streak Sunday with a
dominating victory in
the super-G, capturing
her 47th career title.
Vonn finished a massive
0.61 seconds ahead of
rival Maria Hoefl-Riesch
of Germany, and Tina
Maze of Slovenia was
third.
Laura Kildow began
a visit to Europe last
weekend only to witness
Vonn uncharacteristically miss the podium
in two speed races
because of a stomach
illness.
“I felt bad last week
because I didn’t do very
well,” said Vonn, the
overall World Cup leader.
“It wasn’t a very good
example of a World Cup
weekend, but this weekend went much better.”
Vonn’s victory moved
her ahead of retired
Austrian great Renate
Goetschl on the career
list. Only Austria’s
Annemarie Moser-Proell
(62) and Switzerland’s
Vreni Schneider (55)
have more.
“Records in skiing
are really important to
me,” Vonn said. “The
history in our sport is
something you can look
back on when you’re
career is over and really
be proud of what you accomplished.”
Vonn claimed her
sixth career win in
Cortina, moving within
four of Goetschl’s record
for victories at a single
resort. She also tied
Goetschl for the most
super-G wins on the alltime list with 17.
Vonn extended her
lead in both the overall
and super-G standings.
She holds a 291-point
lead over Maze in
the overall standings
and stands 87 points
ahead of Switzerland’s
Fabienne Suter in the
super-G.

On the road, facing

vaulted himself back into the
conversation about the best
quarterbacks in the league
by engineering a 37-20 win

Mocked before the season

England’s Tom Brady, then

quarterbacking clan played
the position Sunday night
as if it were his birthright instead of a burden. And what
better place than Lambeau

Three years ago, when the
Giants came to town on another improbable playoff run,

The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The Chicago
Blackhawks’ top line came
through against a top Western
Conference rival.
Jonathan Toews and Viktor
Stalberg each had a goal and
an assist, and the Blackhawks
beat San Jose 4-3 on Sunday
night to end the Sharks’ eightgame streak with at least a
point.
Dave Bolland and rookie
Andrew Shaw also scored for
Chicago, which improved to 30-2 in its last five. Shaw’s goal
was his fourth in seven games
since being recalled from the
AHL.
Toews played at center and
Stalberg on left wing on a
line with right wing Patrick
Kane. The speedy trio took a
combined 17 shots and was
the most visible on the ice
Sunday.
“It was probably the best
game we’ve had,” Stalberg
said. “We’ve got a little more
confidence. ... I don’t know if
they had a shot against us on
a shift, and we had chances
every shift.”
The unit is clicking since being assembled by coach Joel
Quenneville four games ago.
Stalberg has five goals in
his last four games, Toews has
two goals and three assists
during that stretch and Kane
— who has scored just once in
his last 13 games — has had
two assists.
“They had a great night,”
Quenneville said. “They were
all going.”
Chicago rallied from a 2-0
deficit to earn a point in a 32 overtime loss at Detroit on
Saturday. Toews scored with
under a minute left to send that
game into the extra period.
On Sunday, the Blackhawks
knocked off the hottest team
in the West and handed the
Sharks their first loss in regulation since Dec. 26. San Jose
had won six of seven, and was
6-0-2 in its previous eight.
“Yesterday, we found our
legs late in the game,” Toews
said. “Coming in tonight, all
three of us were working.”
Joe Pavelski, Jamie McGinn
and rookie Tommy Wingels
scored for the Sharks.

Johnson Wagner celebrates after sinking a putt for par on the 18th hole to win the Sony
Open golf tournament Sunday in Honolulu. Wagner played bogey-free over the last 12
holes and closed with a 3-under 67.

Wagner rallies for
Sony Open victory
The Associated Press
HONOLULU — Johnson Wagner was
bursting with so much excitement about his
game at the start of the year that his father
jokingly asked if he was on speed. It was just
confidence, the most powerful drug in golf.
He worked harder than ever in the offseason and lost 20 pounds. He grew a mustache
and developed thick skin from the reaction
to it. And he told his friends and family that
he would win early in the year and go to the
Masters.
Wagner backed it all up Sunday in the
Sony Open.
He played bogey-free over the last 12
holes, a winning recipe on a tough day at
Waialae, and closed with a 3-under 67 for
a two-shot victory that filled him with even
more confidence about his game and the
rest of the season.
“I was definitely telling people to expect
something early this year, which is a nice
feeling,” Wagner said. “Usually, my confidence is low. I’m kind of shy in a little shell.
And for some reason, I just had way more
energy and confidence going into this year.”
It was his third career victory on the PGA
Tour, and it sends him to the Masters, along
with allowing him to book another twoweek working vacation in Hawaii next year.
Wagner, who finished at 13-under 267 and
earned $990,000, was among six players
who had at least a share of the lead at some
point in the final round. He was the only guy
to stay there.
Harrison Frazar took the outright lead
with a birdie on No. 10, but had to settle for
pars the rest of the way for a 67. Charles
Howell III was paired with Wagner and
stayed with him until a three-putt par on
the par-5 ninth. He birdied the last hole for

six holes for a 67.
They all tied for second.
“My first top 10 as an American,” said Pettersson, the Swede who became a U.S. citizen during the offseason.
They were all chasing Wagner, who seized
control with a 9-iron into the 15th that was
pin-high, just off the green. He rolled that
in for birdie, and then didn’t come close to
making a mistake until he nearly missed a
tap-in par on the 18th.
Coming into the year, Wagner had only
seven top 10s — including two wins — in 139
tournaments. He had never made it to the
Tour Championship and played in only four
majors.
But what a transformation. Along with
his work ethic, he began jotting notes and
goals into a notebook, using the green cover
he received in 2008 from his lone Masters
appearance.
With respect to his mustache — Frazar
made a “Magnum P.I.” reference at Kapalua
— the biggest change with Wagner was his
attitude.
“I love being out here. There’s so many
great players,” he said. “But why are they
any better? Why are the people in the top 50
better than me? I’ve always struggled a little
bit with believing in myself.”

No. 5 Buckeyes get big
win over No. 7 Hoosiers
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Lenzelle Smith Jr. has been
the weakest offensive player
for Ohio State, so it seemed
only natural that Indiana
coach Tom Crean would
choose to have his defense
apply more pressure on the
other Buckeyes.
That strategy backfired
when Smith had the best
game of his career.
Smith more than doubled
his career high with 28
points on Sunday to lead
No. 5 Ohio State to a surprisingly easy 80-63 victory over seventh-ranked
Indiana.
“Throughout the game
I just saw my man leave
me every single time,” said
Smith, who came in averaging 5.2 points a game. “The
first game (against Indiana),
I was complaining about
that to my team. This game
we capitalized on that and
we were able to get some
easy buckets.”
There was no way Indiana was going to allow AllAmerican forward Jared
Sullinger to have his way inside. Crean didn’t apologize
for leaving Smith all alone
on the perimeter.
“Lenzelle is averaging
four shots a game. Look it
up,” Crean said after talking

DENVER — The methodical Utah Jazz had no trouble

Utah was outrun in the
teams’ first meeting Dec. 28.
Denver scored 117 points,
27 on the break, but it was a
different story Sunday. The
Jazz set the pace and Denver
couldn’t adjust.
“We controlled the tempo of
the game by executing our offense, which didn’t allow them
to get out in transition,” Jazz
coach Tyrone Corbin said. “For
the most part, we really controlled the tempo of the game.”
The game was close
throughout until Millsap got
going early in the fourth quarter. He scored 16 points in the
period and gave the Jazz control of a close game.
“Yeah, he got it going,” Denver forward Al Harrington
said. “Nothing I could do
about it, either. Usually I can
cut a guy’s wood off. He’s a
good player and he had a great

off to him. Good job.”
After a three-pointer by

Giants stun Packers
• Manning throws
3 TDs as New York
advances to the
NFC title game
By Chris Jenkins
The Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. — For
Eli Manning and the New
York Giants, Lambeau Field
has become a familiar launching pad. After beating the
Green Bay Packers at home
for the second time in four
years, they only hope this trip
ends the same way — at the
Super Bowl.
Manning threw three touchdown passes and the Giants
shocked the Packers 37-20
in an NFC divisional playoff
game Sunday. Manning threw
for 330 yards, sending the Giants to San Francisco for the
NFC championship game
next Sunday night.
The Packers (15-2) might
have been the reigning Super
Bowl champs, but the Giants
(11-7) might be the hottest
team in the NFL.
“I think we’re a dangerous team,” Giants coach
Tom Coughlin said. “I like
where we are and how we’re
playing.”
The Giants stunned the
Packers with a touchdown off
a long heave from Manning
to Hakeem Nicks just before
halftime, then knocked them
out with a late touchdown off
a turnover. Lambeau Field fell
silent as the Giants swarmed
the field in celebration, with
a handful of New York fans
chanting, “Let’s go, Giants!”

NFC DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF
The Giants have been on
a roll ever since beating the
rival Jets on Dec. 24, beating
the Dallas Cowboys to get in
the playoffs and then blowing
out Atlanta in the wild card
round last week.
The win came four years
after the Giants beat a Brett
Favre-led Packers team in the
NFC title game. It wasn’t nearly as frigid this time around,
and the Packers’ vulnerable
defense seemed to be waiting
to get sliced up.
“This team knows how to
win on the road,” defensive
end Justin Tuck said. “It seems
like right now it’s our time.”
Manning found six different receivers against a porous
Packers’ defense. But Manning did the most damage
with his throws to Nicks, who
caught seven passes for 165
yards and two touchdowns.
Nicks’ biggest play was a
66-yard touchdown catch in
the first quarter. His score at
the end of the half came on a
37-yard pass into the end zone
with defenders all around.
“It was a big momentum
play for them, but we were not
deflated as a football team,”
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.
Nicks said he wasn’t even
sure he’d landed in the end
zone.
“All I said was, I’ve got to
go up and get it,” Nicks said.
“Honestly, I (didn’t) know
where I landed. When I saw
where I was, it was exciting.”
The Giants’ defense also
was able to defuse the big-play
abilities of Aaron Rodgers and

the Packers’ offense.
Rodgers was 26 of 46 for
264 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception.
He also was the Packers’ leading rusher with 66 yards on
seven carries.
Meanwhile, the Packers’
past problems with dropped
balls by their talented group
of wide receivers returned at
the worst time imaginable.
And while the Packers’
defense has been vulnerable
all season, giving up far too
many yards and big plays,
they’ve typically made up for
it by forcing turnovers.
This time, the Packers were
the ones giving the ball away.
Green Bay lost three fumbles, including one on a rare
giveaway by Rodgers. The Giants also sacked Rodgers four
times.
With the Packers trailing
20-10 at halftime but finally
beginning to look like themselves on offense to start the
second half, Osi Umenyiora
swatted the ball away from
Rodgers, and Deon Grant
recovered the fumble at the
Green Bay 37.
“With a 10-point lead,
we’re going to get after you,”
Umenyiora said. “And that’s
what we did.”
It was an emotional day for
the Packers, who welcomed
back offensive coordinator
Joe Philbin for Sunday’s game
— two days after the funeral
service for Philbin’s 21-yearold son, Michael.
“I think deep down, a lot of
us wanted to kind of get this
one for him,” Rodgers said.

“He understands
the defense. He
understands what
we can see on every
single down and
every single coverage.
He’s just making the
right reads and really
hitting people when
the time is right.”

Elite
Continued from D1
This time around, though,
he took control from the opening drive, almost single-handedly managing the Giants’
transition from a run-first offense to a multi-faceted passing attack — a necessity in the
new, points-a-plenty version
of the NFL. By the end, Manning had rolled up 330 yards
on 21-of-33 passing for three
touchdowns and a nifty 114.5
QB rating.
“The offensive line did a
great job. We had time to get
the ball off,” Manning said.
He can be self-effacing to
a fault. You could almost see
him reviewing a roster of his
teammates to make sure he
didn’t leave anyone out.
“We kept our tight ends in.
We kept our backs in,” he added. “They gave me time to sit
back there and wait for guys to
get open.”
It wasn’t nearly as simple as
he made it sound, though. Seven of those catches and two
TDs were claimed by receiver
Hakeem Nicks — including
his stunning, jump-ball grab
of a rainbow in the end zone
to close out the first half — but
Manning spread the wealth
around to seven different
receivers.
“He understands the defense. He understands what
we can see on every single
down and every single coverage,” receiver Victor Cruz said.
“He’s just making the right
reads and really hitting people
when the time is right.”
With these Giants, that
means most of the time.
Leading 20-10 early in the
fourth quarter, New York was
desperately trying to hold onto
its momentum and faced a

BALTIMORE — If style
points and offensive fireworks meant anything,
the Baltimore Ravens
wouldn’t stand a chance
of making it to the AFC
championship.
Playing defense and
protecting the football are
what they do best, and that
formula led to a 20-13 victory over the Houston Texans
on Sunday, putting Baltimore in the AFC title game
against the New England
Patriots.
“I always say there is
a right way to do things,
there is a wrong way to
do things and there is just
the Ravens’ way of doing
things,” linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “It wasn’t
pretty but we’re not really a
pretty team. We got the W
and now it’s on to the AFC
championship.”
The Ravens (13-4) had
almost as many punts
(nine) as first downs (11)
and scored only three
points over the final 46
minutes. But Baltimore
wasn’t penalized once,
didn’t commit a turnover,
intercepted rookie quarterback T.J. Yates three times
and totaled four takeaways
— two in the first quarter
and two over the final eight
minutes.
“If we didn’t get any of
those turnovers it would
probably be a different
game,” Ravens defensive
tackle Haloti Ngata said.
Baltimore visits New
England next Sunday, with
the winner advancing to
the Super Bowl in Indianapolis on Feb. 5.
The Patriots lead the
series 6-1, but Baltimore’s
lone win came in the
postseason.
“We don’t play the game
until next week,” Suggs
said. “I’m going to enjoy
tonight.”
Veteran defensive stars
Ed Reed and Ray Lewis
led a unit that yielded only
one touchdown and came
up with the big play when
one was needed. Lewis had
a team-high seven tackles
and Reed sealed the victory with the Ravens’ fourth
takeaway, an interception
near the goal line in the
closing minutes.
“It’s winning by any
means necessary,” Reed
said. “That’s what it’s got

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning calls a play during
the second half of Sunday’s playoff game in Green Bay, Wis.

third-and-1 at the Packers 46yard line — a situation that
begged for a power back like
Brandon Jacobs or Ahmad
Bradshaw to plow a route
somewhere between the tackles. At that moment, though,
with 13 attempts between
them, the duo had exactly 42
yards.
So Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride put
Manning in the shotgun with
an empty backfield, piling
the fate of the drive onto his
quarterback’s slim shoulders.
Manning coolly delivered a
8-yard sideline throw to Mario Manningham for the first
down, then wound up driving
New York another 21 yards
to set up Lawrence Tynes for
a 35-yard field goal. None of
it — not Gilbride’s gutsy call,
nor Manning’s crisp spiral to
a tight spot on the sideline —
surprises the Giants’ receiving
corps anymore.
“He trusts the ball in Eli’s
hands,” Cruz said, referring

to Gilbride, “so any time we
get that pass call on third-andshort, we understand what we
have to do — get open so we
can get the ball.”
In a fitting postscript, just
as his running backs rediscovered their legs late in the
game, Manning switched from
driving the offense to getting
behind the car and pushing.
As Jacobs headed toward the
right sideline on what would
turn out to be a 14-yard TD
run, Manning threw a block to

buy his runner a few yards of
space.
“It might not have been the
best technique, but it got the
job done. I’m sure I’ll get some
heat from the guys when we
watch it on film tomorrow.
Doesn’t matter,” he said. “I’m
still saying I’m proud of my
block.”
Maybe so. But before Manning gets carried away, he
should remember that the fat
paycheck the Giants send him
every week is for being an elite
quarterback, not a pylon.

to be.”
The Ravens finished 9-0 at
home, but this one was anything but easy. Baltimore led
17-3 after the first quarter, and
interceptions by Lardarius
Webb and Reed in the final 7½
minutes helped the advantage
stand up.
Reed has eight interceptions
in 10 playoff games, few bigger than the last one.
“You can’t say enough about
him,” Ravens linebacker Jarret
Johnson said. “His big plays
always seem to happen when
you need one.”
One week earlier, in the
first playoff game in Texans history, Houston didn’t
commit a turnover in a 3110 home rout of Cincinnati.
Against Baltimore, the Texans couldn’t hold onto the ball
and quickly fell behind by two

touchdowns.
Arian Foster ran for 132
yards, the first player ever
to rush for 100 yards against
the Ravens in the postseason.
But Yates’ three interceptions
matched the total he had in six
regular season games.
“I can’t have the turnovers,”
Yates said. “If we don’t turn
the ball over like that, we have
a chance to win. And we still
had a chance to win. If I’d done
a better job of protecting the
football, I really think we’d
have come out with the win today. We did a good job of moving the ball and we had some
big plays, but you can’t have
that many picks.”
Yates was the third starting
quarterback used by Houston
this season following injuries to Matt Schaub and Matt
Leinart. The Texans also lost
wide receiver Andre Johnson for a spell and finished
without sack specialist Mario
Williams, who missed the last
two-thirds of the season.
And still, the Texans got
within a win of reaching the
conference title game. After
the game, team owner Bob
McNair pulled aside coach
Gary Kubiak and congratulated him.
“I told him how proud I
was. ... To come out and play
the way this team has played,
I think it’s just remarkable,”
McNair said. “Where would
New England have been if
(Tom) Brady wasn’t playing,
and if Wes Welker wasn’t
playing, and if their best defensive player wasn’t playing? Go down the list of any
of these teams and ask where
they would be — and they
wouldn’t be in the playoffs.
And this team was in the
playoffs.”

Wozniacki No. 1 everywhere but majors
By Ben Rothenberg
New York Times News Service

Andrew Brownbill / The Associated Press

Australia’s Bernard Tomic returns to Fernando Verdasco of
Spain during their first-round match at the Australian Open in
Melbourne, Australia. Tomic won 4-6, 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2, 7-5.

Li Na advances to
second round of
Australian Open
By John Pye
The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia
— Li Na returned to the tournament that launched her
onto the global stage last year,
breezing to a 6-3, 6-1 win over
Ksenia Pervak of Kazakhstan
today in the first round of the
Australian Open.
Li was a trailblazer for
China last year, reaching a
Grand Slam singles final for
the first time before losing to
Kim Clijsters in the deciding
match of the Australian Open.
At the next major, she won the
French Open to confirm her
place as a genuine star in the
world’s most populous nation.
“I hope I can go one better
this year,” Li said of her confidence-boosting buildup that
included match wins at the
Hopman Cup and Sydney. “So
I was happy what I’m doing ...
Yeah, I think I just continue.”
Fifth-seeded Li could meet
Clijsters much early than the
final this time, with the pair
drawn into the same tough
quarter along with No. 1ranked Caroline Wozniacki.
Clijsters and Wozniacki were
both due to play first-round
matches later today.
Third-seeded Victoria Azarenka won 12 straight games to
finish off Heather Watson 6-1,
6-0 in 67 minutes in the opening match on center court.
Azarenka, one of six women
who can finish atop the rankings depending on results at
Melbourne Park, is coming off
a victory over Li in the Sydney
International final last week.
“Well, the score is easy. To
actually play the match, it’s
never easy, especially for me
coming here only Saturday,”
she said of the win over Watson, adding she was unsettled
because she had to get to Melbourne Park so early there
was nowhere open to buy her
morning coffee.
“First time I actually hit on
center court was today in the
morning,” she said.
The Sydney champion has
gone on to reach the Australian Open final six times since
1997, winning twice. Li Na
won in Sydney last year but
lost the Australian Open final
to Clijsters two weeks later.
After her win over Li in Sydney on Friday night, Azarenka
is starting to gain a following in Melbourne’s Chinese
community.
“After beating Li Na, a lot
of Chinese people started recognizing me,” the 22-year-old
from Belarus said about her
experience at a Chinese restaurant. “That’s a plus.”
She’ll get more local attention in coming days, with a second-round match against Australian wild-card Casey Dellacqua, a 6-3, 6-2 winner over
Serbia’s Bojana Jovanovski.
For now though, the local
attention is on 19-year-old Bernard Tomic, who rallied from
two sets down to beat No. 22seeded Fernando Verdasco 46, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-2, 7-5. A five-set
win over the 2009 semifinalist
will no doubt give Tomic a confidence boost as he attempts
to become the first Australian
man to win the title since 1976.
“Today wasn’t fun, it was
torture,” said Tomic, who
reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals last year. “I don’t

Nadal, Federer
rift emerges at
Australian Open
MELBOURNE, Australia
— Rafael Nadal has
criticized Roger Federer for
letting other players “burn
themselves” by complaining
about tour conditions
while maintaining his good
reputation by rarely making
negative comments about
tennis.
The two have always
been respectful rivals,
but the ongoing debate
about the overcrowded
tennis calendar exposed a
difference of opinion on the
eve of the Australian Open.
After telling a pretournament news
conference Sunday he had
no intention of being the
frontman for the players’
grievances because it has
reflected badly on him in
the past, Nadal was then
critical of 16-time Grand
Slam winner Federer
in a Spanish-language
interview.
Responding to the
suggestion that
Federer disliked players
complaining openly about
problems on the tour
because it tarnished the
image of tennis, Nadal said
he took another view.
“No, I totally disagree,”
he said in comments
translated from Spanish.
“For him it’s good to
say nothing. Everything
positive. ‘It’s all well and
good for me, I look like a
gentleman,’ and the rest
can burn themselves.
“Everyone is entitled to
have their own opinions.”
Nadal and No. 4-ranked
Andy Murray are among
the players who have
been outspoken in recent
months on issues including
an overcrowded calendar
and the scheduling of
Davis Cup matches. Some
players have talked of
strike action as recently as
Saturday’s player meeting
in Melbourne; Nadal has
said players may have to
resort to “strong action” if
there isn’t an “evolution” in
the calendar.

know how I found the energy
to lift, how I did it, but I thank
the crowd.”
Eighth-seeded Mardy Fish,
the highest ranked of the U.S.
men, had a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 win
over Gilles Muller to advance,
as did 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro,
No. 7 Tomas Berdych, No. 10
Nicolas Almagro, No. 18 Feliciano Lopez, No. 21 Stanislas
Wawrinka and No. 30 Kevin
Anderson.
Of the six women who can
reach the top ranking, eighthranked Agnieszka Radwanska has the biggest task,
having to win the Australian
title. She had a battle on her
hands just to make the second
round, fending off American
Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-7
(10), 6-4, 6-2 in a three-hour
match on Show Court 2.

PERTH,
Australia
— Caroline Wozniacki is
hardly an anomaly.
Though her place in the
top spot in the rankings is
often questioned, Wozniacki is merely the most recent in an established trend
of elite players in women’s
tennis who reached the No.
1 ranking before breaking through for a Grand
Slam title, a pattern that
has led to criticism of the
points-based ranking system and of the No. 1 players
themselves.
Five of the past eight
players to ascend to the
top spot in the WTA rankings for the first time did
so without having won a
Slam event, including the
last three (Wozniacki, Dinara Safina and Jelena
Jankovic). For 111 of the
past 174 weeks, the top spot
in the WTA rankings has
been occupied by a player
who has yet to win a Grand
Slam tournament.
But few recent players have had Wozniacki’s
staying power. A 21-yearold Dane, Wozniacki has
spent 67 of the past 68
weeks with more WTA
ranking points to her name
than any other competitor,
which puts her ninth on the
career list of most weeks
spent atop the chart, ahead
of multiple-major champions like Venus Williams,
Kim Clijsters and Maria
Sharapova. Wozniacki is
only the seventh player to
finish atop the rankings for
two consecutive years, a
feat none of the aforementioned players achieved
even once.
The 2012 Australian
Open will be Wozniacki’s
sixth consecutive Slam
event as the No. 1 seed, the
longest such streak since
Martina Hingis was the
top seed at 11 consecutive
Grand Slam tournaments
from 1999 to 2001.
“To be honest, it’s just
about thinking about yourself and enjoying what
you’re doing,” Wozniacki
said in an interview this
month at the Hopman Cup.
Explaining how Wozniacki wins as much as she
does has proved a quandary for tennis commentators
and experts.
Although she has shown
herself to be capable of
playing assertive, opportunistic tennis, more of her
triumphs come from winning battles of attrition.
The long, bruising victories with which she has
climbed her way up the tennis ladder (and staved off
competition from the top)
often end with her having
accumulated totals of winners and unforced errors
that do not cross into double digits.
“If I feel like I’m feeling
the ball well, I’ll go in and
take the ball early,” Wozniacki said. “If I feel like it’s
not really my day, I’ll grind
it out, find a way.”
And grind she does. With
a visceral toughness often
belied by her occasionally
frilly Stella McCartneydesigned Adidas dresses
(which she is exclusively
contracted to wear), Wozniacki prevails in match
after match with superior
footwork and steady body
blows, not a reliable knockout punch. Although Wozniacki’s high, looping shots
can appear vulnerable on
first glance, her balls often
land deeply enough in her
opponent’s court to draw
an off-balance, backpedaling reply. They are not
outright winners, but Wozniacki’s consistency and
persistence in hitting these
shots puts her opponent in
enough discomfort as to
eventually draw a miss that
may or may not be deemed
an unforced error.
For those who appreciate
the beauty of winning ugly,
Wozniacki’s tennis has a
lot to offer.
Though her brand of
winning tennis has its critics, Wozniacki and her
family say that they are unfazed by her detractors.
“You know, I know how
big it is,” Wozniacki said of
her lengthy stay atop the
rankings.
For the past 15 years, her
father, Piotr, has been her
coach and the steadfast
architect of her defense

on the tennis court. He is also
a formidable defender of his
daughter’s accomplishments.
“I can see today, Caroline is
in tennis history,” Piotr said.
He added: “It takes only one
Grand Slam, and Caroline is a
legend. So today, we’re looking at history. How many players were two years at No. 1?”
Piotr’s dedication to Caroline’s success often extends to
rule-bending coaching from
the stands during matches,
a practice that earned him a
warning most recently during
her match against Tsvetana
Pironkova on Wednesday.
“This is normal,” Piotr said
later, dismissing the rule as
much as the warning itself.
“Many times, I have communication with Caroline, in
Danish or Polish, because it’s
a very fast way for Caroline
to understand the situation in
this moment.”
But for the first time, Piotr is
not alone as his daughter’s primary coach. He was joined in
the offseason by Ricardo Sanchez of Spain.

“This guy called me, talking about a new vision for
Caroline’s tennis,” Piotr said.
“We will see if this is good for
Caroline or not.”
Coaching Wozniacki, Sanchez said, is “like a dream
come true.”
“Like Guardiola coaching
Barcelona,” he said, referring
to the soccer coach Pep Guardiola. “Her personality — you
see the girl is a good girl, a
hard worker, always smart.
I’m very happy. She’s been
already a few times in semifinals, one time final at the U.S.
Open. She’s there.”
Sanchez said she needed to
be “a little lucky, and now improve a little more her game.”
Despite Sanchez’s success
with Jankovic, Piotr Wozniacki made it clear that his effectiveness as a coach for Car-

oline would be evaluated after
the Australian Open, and a
decision about whether to continue to work with him would
be made then.
A change in Wozniacki’s
ranking could precede this
possible change in coaching.
No. 2 Petra Kvitova, who won
Wimbledon and the WTA
Championships last year, will
trail Wozniacki by only 215
points in the rankings when
the Open begins today, a gap
that Kvitova would overcome
by equaling or outlasting Wozniacki in Melbourne.
Although Wozniacki secured the top seed in this
year’s Australian Open, Kvitova had an opportunity to
overtake Wozniacki in the
rankings today with a deep
run at the Apia International
last week in Sydney, a tournament in which Wozniacki also
competed.
But after Wozniacki lost
in the quarterfinals, she had
a comeback victory over
Dominika Cibulkova in her
first match at the Sydney International tournament, a
warm-up for the Australian
Open. Facing near-certain
elimination at 0-4 in the third
set, Wozniacki reeled off the final six games of the match for
a 7-5, 2-6, 6-4 victory, finishing
with a successful challenge of
a would-be Cibulkova winner
on match point.
“Wasn’t pretty,” Wozniacki
posted on Twitter after the
match. “But a win is a win.”

Continued from D1
“They said I was 20 percent
off Karissa Whitsell (the gold
medal time trialist in the 2008
Paralympic Games in Beijing),
and that was without training,”
Scdoris recalled. “I was told
by the director that with more
training and the right partner,
I had potential to be a pretty
successful cyclist.”
I first met Rachael last winter and have since come to a
similar conclusion. Pouring
her heart into all she does, she
is one powerful force.

Please email Cycling Central event information to sports@
bendbulletin.com or click on “Submit an Event” on our
website at bendbulletin.com. Items are published on a
space-availability basis, and should be submitted at least 10
days before the event.

Training partners
For Scdoris to compete, or to
even ride a bike for that matter,
finding the right tandem partner is essential. Because of her
visual impairment, she needs a
person to pilot the two-person
bike. The height and cycling
ability, not to mention the attitude, of the two riders have got
to be fairly similar. In summer
2010, Scdoris partnered with
Bend racer Sarah Max, and
the two worked well together
with hopes of future co-racing.
But things shifted last winter.
“She (Max) sent me an email
saying she could no longer
race with me,” said Scdoris.
“She said she’d train with me
but couldn’t commit to all my
goals. I didn’t take it personally. It was a decision she had
to make and I appreciated her
honesty.”
In February 2011 — when
Scdoris was in Norway competing in the World Distance
Sled Dog Championships — I
met Rachael’s father, Jerry,
and a new cycling partnership
was in the works.

From strangers to sisters
Two months later, in April,
Rachael and I departed on a
950-mile road trip. In a van
filled with bicycle attire, food
and an old tandem bike — of
which I would be the pilot
(front cyclist) and Rachael
the stoker (rear cyclist) — we
made our way to the Olympic
Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., for a weeklong Paralympic cycling training camp.
“It was our first time on a
bike together — our first time
together at all, really,” Scdoris
remembered during our recent conversation. “I knew I’d
love or hate you in three days
… and I killed myself (on the
bike) the first few rides so you
wouldn’t feel like I was wasting your time.”
But no one was wasting
anyone’s time. Following the
initial training camp, Scdoris
received enough sponsorship
money to cover the cost of attending the Paralympic road
cycling nationals in June in
Augusta, Ga.
In Georgia, she placed
fourth in the time trial and
earned a silver medal in the
road race, just one-tenth of a
second off gold.
“I was happy with our effort for the TT (time trial) at
nationals,” Scdoris recalled.
“But I was disappointed with

John Erickson and Eli
Harrison, who each scored
21 points against Mountain

Madras and Crook County
have been equally impressive.
The White Buffaloes, 4A’s
top-ranked squad, are 11-2

Summit (5A). Madras, which

WORKING WOMEN’S ROAD

Al Grillo / The Associated Press

Rachael Scdoris drives her team during the ceremonial start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race
in 2008. Scdoris focuses on sled-dog touring in the winter, but she is still training for cycling during the colder months as well.

our time and place. … We had
given it our all, and in the middle of a torrential downpour
no less.”
The road race was a different story, however. Scdoris
battled for gold in an all-out,
uphill sprint finish. The effort
was pure, painfully satisfying, and far more than she had
ever asked of herself on a bike
before.
“That doesn’t mean I don’t
play the finish over in my
head, thinking about what we
could’ve done to make up that
one-tenth of a second,” Scdoris
said with a wince. “I was happy. But the experience made
me hungry again, and that’s a
really good feeling.”

On the horizon
With winter under way,
Scdoris’ focus is on her sleddog touring, but she does her
best to get on the bike trainer
most every night.
“We’re building a foundation of just base miles right
now,” she said. “It’s the standard winter training that athletes do … once spring comes
around we’ll start on intervals,
tempo, hill training and all the
rest.”
Circling back to her roots,
Scdoris finds the taxing physical and mental preparation
required of sled-dog racing

3.3 steals per game for the
Buffs and freshman point
guard Mariah Stacona is contributing 10.8 points, 6.2 steals
and 4.6 assists per game.
In Prineville, the Cowgirls,
who like the Buffaloes are
looking for a return trip to
the 4A state tournament, have
reeled off four consecutive
victories since a Jan. 5 defeat
to Madras and are now 10-5
overall. Crook County owns
wins over Mountain View and
Summit this season and took
Bend to overtime before falling to the Lava Bears on Jan.

Class 4A’s regular season
ends Feb. 21, with the state
play-in round scheduled for
Feb. 25.

Local trend
in coaching hires
Last week, Bend High and
Summit both announced
the hiring of new football

of the athletes here before and
I’ve competed internationally,” Ferguson said, according
to ussnowboarding.com. “But
there was way more adversity
here. It’s been a really cool
experience here, especially
meeting athletes from different countries and different
sports. We were the first event,
so now we’re looking forward
to watching other sports this
week — going to curling and
hockey for sure.”
Selected for the U.S. Snowboarding Halfpipe Rookie

excellent cross-training for
cycling.
And she’s right — one ride
with Rachael and I knew right
away she was a workhorse.
Tactics can be learned, thresholds improved and training
tweaked. But drive, motivation, work ethic — those
things come from somewhere
within. And Scdoris certainly
has them all.
Already excited about the
2012 season, she told me about
the new custom tandem bike
being hand made for her by
Co-Motion Cycles of Eugene.
Although the bike is quite an
expense, Co-Motion’s co-owner, Dwan Shepard, is offering
it to Rachael at cost.
“Right now I’m saving everything I earn in order to pay
for the Co-Motion (bike),” Scdoris said. “Hopefully, sponsors will get on board for travel, race entry fees and all the
expenses associated with what
we’re trying to do here.”
But what exactly is she trying to do?
To qualify for the 2012 London Paralympics, she has to
make the Paralympic national
cycling team — chosen from
the top time trial finishers at
nationals of the same year. Scdoris will have to work hard,
return to Georgia for the 2012
Paralympic road cycling na-

tionals, and win the time trial.
Which is exactly what she
plans to do.

coaches, Matt Craven and Joe
Padilla, respectively. In addition to both being 37 years
old, Craven and Padilla were
assistant coaches and teachers at the schools they will
be coaching at. With the current economy and possibility of layoffs, educators and
coaches are less likely to pick
up and relocate for jobs, Bend
High athletic director Craig
Walker said last week.
“No one wants to be the low
man on the totem pole,” said
Walker, who expects more
and more Central Oregon
coaching vacancies to be
filled by in-house applicants.
“If you’re a guy in the Portland area and you’ve put 10
or 15 years in at a school, it’s
risky to move somewhere else
for a job where (because of seniority) you’d be the first one
cut if layoffs happen.”
